RECIPES FROM 6/16/18

I’ve said this before but it’s really nice when a recipe surprises you. I started off with a much simpler meatloaf recipe, but decided to jazz it up. The results were way better than I thought. It’s great to be able to make recipes your own, so let me encourage you by asking, how could YOU make these better? Let me know in the comments.We paired with with a simple Argentinian Malbec from The Exquisite Collection. It worked well with the meal, but I’d also go with a pinot noir, or cab sauv.

Portobello Stuffed Manly-As-Hell Meatlog

Let's be honest. This ain't your momma's meatloaf. It's got fresh ground meat, wrapped in bacon, and done up right on the grill, completely with a BBQ glaze. Momma does fine work, but this is a different level. Just sayin'

You can go ahead and buy ground beef and pork form the grocers, but never underestimate the power (and deliciousness) of grinding your own. Also, salt and pepper liberally. Also also, you can make your own BBQ, but if you're going to buy some... Stubb's the best IMO.

Sexy Potato Wedges

When I made these, everyone kept asking, "Pappa, what makes them so sexy?"

The answer is deceptively simple. They are TOO easy to make and they taste delicious. If you really wanna drop into a food coma, throw some shredded cheddar cheese on them, 2 minutes at the end of the cook. Freaking excellent.

Recipe Notes

The key to these potatoes is to not go crazy with the stirring. You WANT them to char a little on the sides. You may want to drop a teaspoon of olive oil in the pan if things get too dry.
